The 113th Annual New York Boat Show starts January 24th. The annual boat show serves as an education and business experiences for companies across the industry. This year's show is ripe with new models, interactive and educational activities for kids, and of course, lots of great tech.
To celebrate the show contributors to the show rang the NYSE closing bell. Included in that group was Thom Dammrich, President of the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Dammrich joins Cheddar to preview the annual show.
Technology has a strong presence at this year's show. Dammrich says autonomous boats are not all that far away. He also discusses the Watercar. The amphibious vehicle runs on both land and water.

Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
Cracker Barrel is sticking with its new logo. For now. But the chain is also apologizing to fans who were angered when the change was announced last week.
